Well, if that little snippet after the song ends really ruins the entire song for you, then I'd say you're a bit overly sensitive.

The original's legacy is still in tact.
Barely... :yawn:

With each new release Alice chips away at the unique, reckless and original status of the legendary ACG...

Well stop buying the albums then and you'll feel better.

On another note, many of us are really enjoying this album, so it sucks to be you.

Parish - Out of interest, what were the last 3 Alice songs that you liked? Just interested to know.

This album makes zero sense.

The original WTMN was a concept record about a dream/nightmare.

Welcome Doh! My Nightmare just rips off the best instrumentals from the original and then wraps them around the newer inadequate songs.

None of these newer songs have a cohesive nightmare theme to them at all...

Those would have been on Brutal Planet...

Hey I stated that When Hell Comes Home and The Congregation ( sans the toilet humor ) were digestable but even then The Congregation is a Manson rip off...

Please forgive my lack of posts in recent months.....I just can't keep up (and have'nt read the previous posts on this thread).

My copy arrived last Monday. Delighted. 'Ghouls' makes me drive too fast!

Really, really pleased.
...And personally, I don't care.

I'm tempted to agree that BP is the best of the post 90's albums...

Parish says....

"Just awful...

So many thing that are wrong with this release but the worst part is how it diminishes from the originals legacy.

Alice should just stop making records if this is all he's capable of doing.

Schlock to the tenth power...

None of these newer songs have a cohesive nightmare theme at all...

With each new release Alice chips away at the unique, reckless and original status of the legendary ACG..."

Gailsfriend says....

If negative things is all you have to offer.....please let go of your 1972 Billion Dollar Babies concert experience and move on with life. Obviously, everyone else has...including the original Alice Cooper Group. Either "be a player or get out of the game"....I believe "being a fan" means that you accept the musical and creative changes with a group or artist throughout the years. Alice Cooper is clearly NOT going to stop making records...so, you, Parish, may need to stop listening and find another group or artist to be a fan of.

Although, you may find it hard to find a band willing to dress like girls, sing about necrophilia, and create anthems as timeless as "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out"...then, break up the band, go solo to create even more outlandish music, nearly die from alcoholism, then rebuild the entire brand from the ground up.

Go ahead...Parish, try to find a better and more interesting artist than Alice Cooper. But stop bitching about what you can't change...please.

I initially gave my review of how I truly felt and then defended those thoughts when provoked, I wasn't bitching at all...


Oh and try The Decemberists, they're awesome...

Totally agree...as long as those changes are on par with what the artist has done in the past in regards to quality.

The Decemberists are boring and you know know it. Being a fan of Coheed and Cambria doesn't make me say crappy things about Alice Cooper...because Coheed makes concept albums.....Claudio Sanchez wishes he could make a concept album with Bob Ezrin.


Hmmmm, I wonder who started making CONCEPT ALBUMS really cool....Was it The Pretty Things' SF Sorrow or The Who's Tommy....or Alice Cooper's Welcome To My Nightmare? HMMMMMM? I WONDER....
